Generallly, it comes from a bas contact between the cursor aand the
resistive track (dust or oxyde).
It can also come from a miscontact between this track and the connecting
pad or a "dry solder".
First step : re-solder everything.
Second step : use some KF or equivalent in large quantity inside
(through the opening of the leads).

The volume control wheel (at the side) has lost
all fine-tuning capability, and makes appalling
noises when operated as it jumps at random from
high to low volume.

Is there a fix; is it a loose connection, dust or
grit in the works? Should I just flush it out.

Otherwise the radio works well.
